UH’s Ros happy to trade in blog posts for post routes

University of Houston wide receiver Shane Ros is putting his notepad away.

After chronicling his rehabilitation from a torn anterior cruciate ligament in “Rehabbing with Ros” on the university’s athletic website last season, Ros was back on the field for the first time in 17 months when the Cougars opened preseason camp Saturday.

Ros, who is not wearing a knee brace, said he has no restrictions.

“I’m not worried about it. I feel great,” said Ros, who suffered the knee injury during 2013 spring practice. “Hopefully I’ll be wearing cleats and helmet and not writing on a notepad this year.”

A former walk-on who starred at Cinco Ranch High School before transferring from Balyor to UH, Ros had a breakout season in 2012, finishing with 23 receptions for 337 yards and three touchdowns. He was placed on scholarship at the end of the season.

A return to 2012 form by Ros would provide a boost to an already deep Cougars receiving corps.

As camp begins, Ros said he doesn’t plan any writing in the foreseeable future. He received his undergraduate degree in the spring and plans to take 12 hours toward grad school this fall.

“For the next four months my day job is football player,” he said. “I’m just gad to be back on the field.”
